   ... because a CISCO terminal server doesn't respond to an ICMP echo
   request for an alias IP address (currently it is ignored).

This was fixed AGES ago.  It's at least in 8.1(25) which we've been
running over 6 months.  It wasn't in 7.1(7).  We didn't run anything
in between, so I can't be sure when it started working.
